Whole cardamom pods are a fragrant and flavorful spice used to infuse dishes with a warm, aromatic taste. To use them, gently crush or bruise the pods to release their seeds, which contain the essential oils responsible for the bold flavor. The whole pods can be added directly to stews, curries, rice dishes, or baked goods like cakes and cookies, where they will slowly release their flavor during cooking. Cardamom pods are also commonly used in hot beverages, such as chai tea or coffee, for a subtle, aromatic kick. Just be sure to remove the pods before serving, as they can be tough to chew!
